This project is a conversion of a gritty 250m2 brick warehouse in the old industrial area of Fitzroy into a stunning family home. The former industrial building is a mixture of intimately scaled family spaces and vast entertaining voids. Two full-height voids act as the lungs of the design bringing both light and sky views deep into the internal space. The private areas such as the study and bedroom are accommodated on the first floor by volumes of a more intimate scale.

The places we design play host to the scope of human existence in all of its beautiful, messy and extraordinary glory.
